#1 The Greens want only the terrorists, aka their future overlords, to have a "license to kill."

#2 ...enabling the prevention of attacks like the 11 September 2001 attacks on the United Nations that killed close to 3,000.
Don't wire services employ proof readers anymore?If only the attack had been on the Turtle Bay facility and its occupants. Sigh...
And wondering whatever became of TGA.

#4 Thanks, JFM. That helps.
I had thought he had gotten a position in Merkel's government and just didn't have time to post. Obviously he is missed here at RB.

#5 I don't know hy but the rantburg system ate part of my comment. This is the second time since I returned from Christams holidays.

In the original I related Benedict XVI election with TGA's absence implying that his real identity was Pope Benedict XVI. Just kidding.

#6 Some water must have gotten into the cable running under the ocean from the European mainland to North America, JFM. ;-)

#7 lol, TW! Only you could come up with such an exquisite explanation in such a short time.

Back to topic...this actually has to be legalized? And, what's with those judges. We now must assume that anyone aboard a hijacked airliner is a "dead man flying". Saving add'l lives on the ground is the highest priority.

#8 More than five years later and they still have not sorted this out? Talk about flying blind.

#9 Of course my explanation has no technical basis or understanding behind it, BA. It's ever so much easier to explain things when not weighted down by reality. ;-)
